The moment of inertia of an object is a property that describes how difficult it is to rotate the object about an axis. Rotational inertia accounts for the stability of gyroscopes and bike-riders, and has applications for navigation of planes and figure skaters performing lightning-fast spins. Richard Garriott experiments with spinning a deck of playing cards to demonstrate both stable rotation and tumbling rotation.
wow why does it do that though?

when you're in space, can someone get sick..kind of like how people get car sick? ..like nauseous. Or no? Thats one thing I wanna do in my life before I die, is go into space, I've never actually really thought too much about it or ever really got into it much..just always said it and mean it. hah. It would be an amazing experience!
